Non-so-Tragic Kingdom

Advantages: Brilliant varied tracks with great No Doubt retroness!
Disadvantages: Maybe a bit retro for the lesser fan

...to lead you into the Tragic Kingdom where the lyrics are spread around inside. Great cover Great lyrics Great songs Great variation! A great original No Doubt album that for any fan would appreciate. True authentic No Doubt! Brilliant. God I love this album! I can't remember how much I paid for the album it was 10 years ago but I think its around about £5.99 to £9.99 Track Listing and Duration: ----1. Spider webs (4.28)---- Great start to ...
...to slow beats -----14. Tragic Kingdom (5.31)----- Wow! This track tops it off so well. I mean it does have some lyrics that are a bit weird, about a Kingdom that has been locked up and hidden and lost from the world that is relightened, paying homage to a king, the drawbridge opened, a bit mythical really. Starts off with dialog of an aeroplane tannoy. The music is dramatic after that and the lyrics are wicked, all about destiny and the lost ...

A Great Fresh Debut

Advantages: Great tracks from start to end
Disadvantages: none

...last album I got from No Doubt which now completes my collection! I have now got all four! This is a fresh sounding group who in a way sound ahead of their time as far as maturity goes. This album I paid £6.99 in total from 101cd.com, which was a bargain as the older albums are quite expensive so it’s a good idea to shop around first! There are 14 songs on the album. The first is more of an Intro which involves the use of instruments such as ...
...off the great album is Brand new Day, which carries on the theme of the intro which rounds it off nicely, a great end to a Brill album. This album won’t be out of place in anyone’s CD collection and I highly recommend this to No Doubt fans! ...

The Return

Advantages: Great Hits Once again 2 BONUS TRACKS!
Disadvantages: none

...with their forth album entitled Return Of Saturn, although a strange title, this album is once again crammed with hits! This was the second album of No Doubts that I bought which included the great come-back single "New" which is a great fast dance type rock track which is still one of my all time faves! Follow-ups to the return single failed to impress or make it into the top 10. Other releases included Simple Kind Of Life and Marry Me both good ...
...in the charts, heralds a return for the band which hopefully will keep on churning out pure tracks like this again. Lets hope for a new album soon! This finally completes my opinions on all four albums by No Doubt! I hope I have done them justice. They are fantastic with sublime and thought provoking lyrics, they can't do no wrong! READ THIS! If you have the album or I have Persuaded you to get this one, Leave the CD play after the bonus track (15) ...

What it says on the tin... Just Sublime

Advantages: Potentially timeless, vast musical spectrum
Disadvantages: Not many

This album is arguably the best offering from rap/reggae/punk fusion band , Sublime. The untimely demise of the lead singer in a very rock 'n' roll manner means that with no new releases, its a good job that this album is so good. Almost thirty tracks confirms its status as one of those value for money albums and there are so many stand out tracks on this record that it would futile to list them. The album has a very free-flowing feel to it, however, ...
...or consistency. I prefer to say that this is a reflection on its raw grit and energy. Most people would struggle to avoid finding a track they like on here and if any of the three above genres interest you then this will be right up your street. There is a cover of 'Rivers of Babylon' which is blissfully relaxing and will appeal to fans of the old-school reggae style. While the constant switching and changing of the musical stylings means that the ...

No Use For A Name

Advantages: Sublime at their best
Disadvantages: Not enough songs!

...get to the ulitmate classic Sublime song that everyone who's anyone knows - "Santeria". This song MADE Sublime what they are to a lot of people - it's like what "One" was to Metallica. Listen to this if nothing else. The last track on the album is "Doin' Time" - an excellent take on "Summertime". This is THE song for any summer - and even if it's winter, you'll definitely feel like it's summer after listening to this song. Overall, an amazing album ...
